UNITED STATES ANDREW J'UELSZ, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

BARBER-CHAIR REGISTER.

Application filed January 23, 1922.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ANDREW JUHiisz, cit-izen of Hungary, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois,

5 have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Barber-Chair Registers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates generally to barbers chairs having more particular reference to a counting device whereby-the number of customers occupying the chair during a day, or any other selected period of time, may be registered.

The invention has for an object to provide a simple form of mechanism as above set forth which is actuated by the weight of the customer when the latter sits on the chair.

For further comprehension of the inven tion, and of the objects and advantages 0 thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claim in which the "arious novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

5 Fig. 1 of the drawings is a side view, with certain exterior parts broken away, of a barbers chair having the invention applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is a rear View,

of the pedestal omitted.

Fig.3 is a detail transverse section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a detail transverse section on line 44 of Fig. 1.

5 Fig. 5 is a detail transverse section on the line 5-5 of Fig 1.

Referring now to the drawings the reference numeral indicates the usual supporting pedestal ofabarbers chair. The seat of 0 the chair comprises a floor-like lower plate 11, rigidly fixed on the pedestal 10, and a vertically movable top plate 12 which is spaced some distance above the member 11 and may be suitably upholstered, the cover- 5 ing 13 of the upholstery extending downward at the front as at 13' across the space between the two plates 11 and 12 and being attached to the lower plate 1.1.

The back of the chair is hollow like the 0 seat, and comprises a rigid rear wall 16, and a suitably upholstered front wall 17, the usual headrest being indicated at 18. The pedal 10 is provided with the usual tilting mechanism indicated at 19.

5 Fixed to the underside of the top plate 12 of the seat are a number of posts such as with the lower partthe Serial No. 531,157.

which project slidably into socket ele ments 21 fixed on the lower plate 11. Surrounding these posts 20 are coiled expansion springs 22 which bear between the sockets 21 and the top plate 12 and resiliently support the latter. The amount of vertical movement of the seat element 13 is determined by studs such as 23 fixed in the posts 20 and engaging in vertical slots such as 24 in the sockets 21.

Fixed to the top plate 12 is a downwardly projecting rack bar 25 the teeth whereof mesh wit-h a gear 26 fixed to one section 27 of a horizontal shaft extending longitudinally within the hollow seat and supported by bearings indicated at 28. The other section 27, of the shaft has fixed thereon a bevel gear 29 meshing with a bevel gear 30 fixed on the lower end of a shaft 31 extend ing up the hollow back. On the upper end of shaft 31 is fixed a bevel pinion 32 meshing with a bevel gear 33 rigid with a dialdisk 34 having any selected series of numbers marked on its rearwardly facing surface as indicated at 35 in Fig. 5.

To form a one-way connection between the shaft sections 27 and 27 the former has feathered on its rear end a ratchet faced clutch element 37 pressed into engagement with a like clutch element 38, on the forward end of section 27, byaspring 39. Reverse movement of shaft section 27 is prevented by a spring pressed pawl 40 engaging a ratchet wheel 41 fixed shaft section 27 To permit of resetting of the dial-disks 34 it is mounted so that it may be moved bodily rearward to disengage the gear 33 from the pinion 32, a spring being provided which is gradually wound as the dial turns and which returns the dial to its starting position. lVith the above purpose in view the disk 34 is swiveled on forward end of a stud 42 whose rear end engages freely in a socket 43 fixed in a box 44 projected rearwardly from the back member 16.

A spiral spring 4:) is coiled. around. the stud 42 and has one end connected to the latter and. the other end connected to the disk 34. Fixed to the rear end of the stud 42 is a handle 46 which projects through an angular slot 47 in the socket 43, this slot presenting a transverse arm and a rearwardly extending longitudinal arm, the gear 33 being in mesh with the pinion 32 when handle is engaged in the transverse arm of .m'm (led Lment. a
